ASP cannot be run on Linux servers (which a majority of online servers are), and just that means there are less community help or resources and projects available.

I would stick with ASP only if you are advanced in something such as C# (which you can use with ASP.NET framework), otherwise I may stick with PHP.

If a suggested code/method fails, informing us is less important than telling us why or what errors occurred.

Classic ASP is old, the last release was in 1998. The error handling is horrible, if you find source code it's always procedural. There are not very many premade libraries out there.

PHP has a much larger community, great error reporting, and you can probably find tons of premade OOP libraries to help you out. I love the documentation.

If you were actually referring to ASP.NET you are probably in luck. It's more "Professional" with a bit larger community than the Classic ASP one, yet still smaller than PHP. More of the stuff you find it OOP and there is good documentation.

Avoid classic ASP like the plague. I have the misfortune of coding in it, and it sucks. PHP or ASP.NET are much better.
Programming is a branch of mathematics.

Ok, thanks for all responces.
I think I'll use Visual Studio with C# and ASP.NET. I prefer this software. I find there are much tools.

ASP.NET is a better operating platform is an efficient web application framework that enables all the programmers to create dynamic web pages and web applications. Moreover the ASP.NET applications arte hosted by web server and they can be accessed using stateless HTTP protocol. It is a better and more efficient platform for web designing.
